iOS5 released less than 1 day cracked Hackers meet with Jobs

Beijing time on June 8 news, according to the US technology blog site Venturebeat reported that Apple announced at the 2011 Global Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday, has been for external developers to launch the next generation of mobile operating system is still in its infancy iOS 5. However, within a day of the release of the operating system, it was cracked by hackers.

An Apple "fan" said that it has found a way to install iOS 5 without requiring an Apple developer account (the account costs $99 a year). Another well-known iPhone hack confirmed that iOS 5 is actually very easy to crack. Cracked iOS 5 users can run apps that haven’t been approved by Apple while adjusting iPhone’s feature settings.

Industry sources pointed out that the fact that iOS 5 was cracked within one day after its release means that the official version of iOS 5 and subsequent versions of the operating system will all face security issues.

According to a report from US technology blogger Gizmodo, Apple "fans" and amateur developer Mert Erdir claimed that he successfully installed the operating system by cracking iOS 5's Voice Over function. It is similar to a large number of users breaking their iOS devices. Cracking iOS devices also faces some risks. That is, if iOS devices fail after being cracked, Apple will not undertake maintenance obligations.

Edir said in a statement: "My actions do not want to harm anyone. I just want to attract Apple's attention in this way. I love this company. Maybe I will have the opportunity to have the same opportunities in the future. CEO Steve Jobs meets."

One of the members of the well-known cracking organization "iPhone Dev Team" "MuscleNerd" released Twitter information on Tuesday that he has been able to crack iOS 5. The US technology blog site ReadWriteWeb reported that MuscleNerd's method of cracking iOS 5 is actually using a technology hole already existing in iOS. However, the existing cracking method is only a half-cracked (tethered jailbreak). That is, after the cracking, the user cannot turn off the computer. If the user turns off the computer, the iOS device and the computer must be connected each time to break the crack once.
